Here’s something pretty cool: www.droogle.ca - it’s Google for drinks! Despite the fact that it comes from Canada, I think it may have some value. Check out the “liquor cabinet”, where you put in what kind of liquor you have and it tells you what to drink. Nice.

Drinks!

July 29, 2005On to today’s news:
- Serb Goes Nuts in Tax Office: look, as a tax accountant I don’t claim that my job is the most dangerous in the world, however my collegues in Serbia may disagree.
- Guys like this are why women have to fake it.
- The Sports Guy has a good review of “Wedding Crashers”. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but it sounds like I need to…especially with all my friends (and myself) getting married next summer.
- At next summer’s World Cup 2006 in Germany, you will now be able to pursue alternative forms of entertainment.
- Yet another reason to get into podcasting: Family Guy recaps!! Unfortunately they don’t actually have clips from the show. It’s just some dude giving a summary. Let’s hope Fox improves on this.
- In case you haven’t heard about it, some hidden code in the videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was recently revealed to include explicit sexual acts between the game’s main character and a woman (thankfully). There has been a huge uproar in general, and even uber-bitch Hillary Clinton has involved herself. The game’s rating has been changed to “Adults Only” and has been pulled from shelves of major retailers across the country whose internal policies prohibit sales of adult titles (e.g., Best Buy, Wal-Mart, et al). That means you can only pick it up in porn shops, pretty much. Well, now the game has been banned throughout the entire country of Austrailia. The argument, of course, is that children shouldn’t be playing games that include depictions of graphic sexual behavior. Do people realize what this game is without the hidden code? You go around and shoot cops, prostitutes, and basically anyone else whom you feel inclined to “cap”. I love this game, but the revelation of the sex stuff shouldn’t change the fact that KIDS SHOULDN’T BE PLAYING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! People are idiots.
- My buddy McDonald turned me on to this site: www.gizoogle.com. Just check it out.
- Does anyone know how far Vienna is from Bulgaria? I’m thinking Austria could soon experience the Irish curse firsthand.
- In Real Madrid news, “el club blanco” has signed Julio Baptista for 5 years. The Brazilian Futbol Federation has blocked the transfer of Robinho from Santos. Perhaps Owen will remain…
- 91% of Americans are oblivious to RSS, yet somehow 13% of them have a vague understanding of what a podcast is. Wake up to the revolution, kids.
- Calling all Muslim Ninjas! Job opportunities abound in Riyadh.
